from the publisher - combines sound theology, academic expertise, pastoral wisdom, and an endearing playfulness to draw readers into the connection between the great stories of the Bible and salvation in Jesus. Central to the book’s themes are ... illustrations of key biblical characters, which are simple, yet surprisingly profound and help readers understand complex biblical ideas. Those looking for a deeper understanding of the Old Testament and its great figures will find this book to be an easily accessible and enlightening resource.
